I dont even get how that happened

Such a ridiculous finish. Kudos to the Pats, but they definitely got some help by the Ravens at the end. Good on the Ravens for putting up a hell of a fight.

PATSSSSS. Heart-pounding game that was. Jesus. Amazing MNF game, though. :y:

I'm at a fucking loss.

Probably the best MNF game I've ever watched. At least that I can remember.

I wouldn't say all that..

Perhaps the Patriots should send Rex Ryan a present for Christmas

MNF's Greatest Games: Miami-New York Jets 2000

ABC Sports Online

On Nov. 11, the Raiders and Broncos played in the 500th regular season telecast of Monday Night Football. To celebrate, we asked fans to vote for their favorite MNF game. They selected the Jets' comeback over the Dolphins in 2000.

It all depends on where you are from how you felt about it.

In New York, the headlines blared "Monday Night Miracle Men!"

Down south, the Palm Beach Post called it a "Monday Meltdown".

Most of them would have had references to the swamps of New Jersey. Vinny Testaverde had been picked off three times, Curtis Martin was a non-factor, their defense couldn't stop the Dolphins.

For the Dolphins, Jay Fielder couldn't have asked for a better outing. The former star at Oceanside (N.Y.) High School had doled out nearly 80 tickets to family and friends as he made his first start ever at the Meadowlands. It was good times for the local boy.

In fact, when Lamar Smith scored with 12 seconds left in the third quarter to give the Dolphins a 30-7 lead, Fiedler walked over to Jason Taylor and told him the game was over. Little did Fielder know that Taylor was being miked by Monday Night Football. Or that he just jinxed his team.

"It was all Fiedler's fault," jokes Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas.

"It was a situation, where we were ahead by a lot, things were going very well for us and I wanted it to stay that way," Fiedler says.

Either way, with the crowd filing out, there were few who thought the Jets had a chance to come back.

"It was like a high school game out there," recalls Thomas. "I mean there was no one in the stands, and we really felt we had it won."

But then Vinny Testaverde hit Laveranues Coles with a 30-yard touchdown early in the fourth. It set in motion a wild quarter for Vinny. Four minutes later, he connected with Jermaine Wiggins on a 1-yard score, and it was a 10-point game. A John Hall field goal with 5:43 to go cut it to 30-23, and all of a sudden, fans started filing back into the stadium.

"We just tried to say hey, let's don't lose our poise. But it was hard not to," Thomas says. "Because the crowd started coming back into the game. It was wild. I've never seen (anything like) it. I guess they even opened the gates up for the people to come back in because usually when you leave, you can't get back in, but I've never seen within like five minutes left in the fourth quarter to fill back up. I guess everybody started leaving the game at the end of the third, and then they started hearing about it, everybody started rushing back, and by the time it was overtime, I mean it was packed."

The fans got back in time to see Testeraverde hit Wayne Chrebet with a 24-yard touchdown with 3:55 to go to tie the game.

"They booed us, they booed us, and then they booed us, and then they left," recalls Coles. "And then we started coming back, and then you seeing people filter in back into the stands, and I think with just half the stadium empty, that's probably about the loudest I ever heard it. I mean it was very exciting. There was so much energy in the stadium for the guys."

Two plays later, though, you could hear a pin drop, when Fiedler found Leslie Shepherd open down the right sideline for a 46-yard touchdown to put Miami on top once again.

The biggest play came on a fourth-and-1 from the Miami 4, when Testaverde hit Richie Anderson for a two-yard pickup. Two plays later, the Jets used a play they worked on in practice, but one that few expected would be called in a game situation, let alone one as critical as this: A pass to tackle eligible Jumbo Elliott.

"We were all on the sidelines like, 'Oh come on Jumbo, catch it,'" recalls Coles. "When he bobbled it, we were like 'Oh man.'"

Elliott found his way into the end zone wide-open. Testaverde lofted it to him, but a falling Elliott bobbled it before cradling it in to tie the game at 37-37 with 42 seconds left.

"But he caught it and then we looked at his face on the jumbo screen," says Coles. "His eyes were just wide open, and I think all the guys were like 'Jumbo, did you catch it?' And he was like 'Yeah.' So for us, it was very exciting, I mean, we just kept asking you caught it, right? You caught it, right? I think he was ignoring everybody. So I mean it was a big play for us, and we had worked on it and it came through for us in the end."

In overtime, the Dolphins still had a crack at winning the game, but the Jets would not be denied as Marcus Coleman picked off Fiedler to set up Hall's game-winning 40-yard field goal.

"I remember putting my arm around either Wayne or Dedrick (Ward) and just jumping up and down like a kid," says Coles. "And I was like 'We did it, we did it.' I was so excited. It was big. I was a rookie, and everything just was happening so fast, and for us to come out and get a victory like that on Monday night, I mean it was very exciting."

In the fourth quarter alone, the former Heisman Trophy winner was 18-of-26 for 235 yards and four TDs.

"He just took the game totally over and just made play after play," recalls Coles. "Him and Wayne was in the hole, drawing plays in the dirt. I had never seen that done in a professional game, and Vinny was just, he was just on. It's almost like he was a general. We were his soldiers, and he was directing, and just everything was clicking for him."

The Jets and Dolphins have played many memorable games, but the "Miracle at the Meadowlands" is one that will be fresh in the minds of many for years to come.

"It made me sick, because they are a rivalry of ours, and to live down here with all these New Yorkers, I mean, they remind you everywhere you go, and they definitely remind us when we came back home," Thomas says. "I mean you go out to a restaurant, they're chanting J-E-T-S! JETS! JETS! JETS! but for them to come back on us, and we had the game on a lock, and for one person to beat us and Jumbo Elliot catching the ball, that just topped everything, and it just made me sick."

I was there :cool:

The Jets aren't finished with taking home "greatest game" trophy's just yet. 2 weeks

Patriots need to figure out some shit though, Thomas having to move to the outside to make up for Colvin being out really hurts as they got gashed up the middle all game

This has been one of the best years for Monday Night Football, IMO. The Bills game was amazing, that Cowboys game was amazing, with Folk kicking that FG, The Packers game was amazing when Favre threw that 80 yard TD in OT, and now this one.

the Bills game was the game where Folk hit the 50 yarder. Those are 3 good ones, but pretty sure every other Monday night game has been god awful

A lot of shit games in there

Wow, thought the Hail Mary would do it

You know what I just thought about, if the Ravens hadn't burned that timeout that fucked up them stopping the Pats on 4th down, they would've had it to stop the clock after the hail mary..

I dunno I think time had run out but maybe. If they did score on that play though it would have been the biggest bunch of bullshit ever, Samuel got thrown to the ground by one of the Ravens wide receivers.

I marked out when the guy tossed the ref's flag into the stands. lol

How did you feel about Jonathon Ogden making Richard Seymore his bitch?

When Bart Scott flipped out and picked that flag up and chucked it into the stands. For a moment, i turned black and wanted to rob a convienience store owned by Asians.

Remember when that ref tossed the flag through the helmet of that dude on the Browns and it like ended his career and shit and it was so ROFL. If i was the guy that got the yellow flag that Bart Scott threw, i'd totally go home and have someone kick me in the eye a few times so i can get a really nice settlement out of him and the Ravens.

Stima, I thought there was a few seconds left after the catch that ran off.. I could be wrong though as I'd eaten a bar of Xanax and had a few beers..

No, i'd sue the ref for pissing Gary Bracket off.

Stima, you were right, the clock expired right before he caught the ball..

Seymour really didn't play that bad at all, it was more of the inside linebackers making tackles 6 yards down the field every play, I'm not worried about Seymour at all to tell you the truth.

Also what calls are the Ravens complaining about? Yeah they got called for more penalties then the Patriots...but why can't that happen? They committed more fouls...

If the ref really did call Samari Rolle "boy" then that's whatever, get pissed about that but that was after the game winning TD so I don't understand what they are talking about.

The Ravens said the refs were saying shit to them all night, not just after the last TD.

The game winning bobble.

I think he had it, if not they would scored anyway seeing how they would have been on the one yard line

Yeah, that "boy" comment which was said like 5 times, def. ain't cool. That ref should be suspended.

I saw Stallworth get away with a bad hold

why was Billick blowing kisses at ...I forgot his name, but you know what I'm talking about?

True. Bart Scott :lol:

Not that I'm saying Gaffney's TD was a catch or not, but has anyone else noticed a lot of instances of refs screwing up instant replay calls this year? I can think of several examples, most recently with that final Browns TD against the Cardinals where the AZ defender clearly hit Edwards leg and the ref went to the replay and still called it a touchdown. Maybe it's not specific to this season but I've noticed it a lot this year.

Harrison was talking shit to him about Boller throwing an int and I guess that was Billick's chosen response.

Harrison was on ESPN talking about it, and he said after Billick blew him a kiss he told him he was a happily married man lol

Did he say why he was talking trash to Billick and what he was saying?

Cause the way I saw it, Harrison was being a dumbass trash talking the coach and Billick's reaction was pretty hilarious.

Harrison said he had some "not so kind things" to say about his QB and that was Billick's reaction.

There was a lot shit talking going on all game but I have no idea why Harrison went over to a coach instead of somebody actually in the game, maybe they have a past history or something I have no idea
